Time and travel - Blogging has been slow because I've been motoring all over the Eastern seaboard visiting relatives for the (extended) holiday season. So far my favorite Christmas present has been Mark Steyn's "America Alone" which compounds my fear over demographics in America (vis a vis Social Security) with a new fear over what groups will be filling the demographic void (hint: they pray to the East a lot). It's a fabulous and funny page-turner about the collapse of modern society.
